Every spring during marsh tit surveys I check on the Monks Wood bottle, now lain here undisturbed for at least 72 years, but prob since WW2 when a pigpen was here. Huntingdonshire Brewery closed in 1954. Still a few smashed snail shells: Song Thrushes have used it an anvil for generations.

Excellent time at our Social Club here in Suffolk. Good to celebrate our anniversary with a few friends. Finishing on a Chimay Blue. One of my favourites which I don't get that often.

Cheers 🍻

Cheers mate 🍻

Thanks Dave 🍻

Well here we are, celebrating 12 years together tomorrow. I haven't aged a bit obviously 😁 Happy anniversary to us.

Cheers 🍻

Rather pleased with this haul from @beautifulbeers.bsky.social in Bury St Edmunds yesterday. Keeping Christmas going for a couple more weeks 😁🍻

Missing Presumed Lost? The Cheat Boy Perry Pear: Part I Jack begins a quest to discover what became of the Cheat Boy perry pear, exploring its past popularity, cultivation, and wondering if it is still to be found in the wild.

Nice to see our local Suffolk brewery supporting this event and celebrating their 40th anniversary.

That's lovely, Ian. Sincere condolences.

And in Today's Beer News: Busy day on Cask Marque with 10 pub visits. Pleased to say 8 passed but 2 pubs were unaware that they had no Cask Ale for sale when they opened and went to serve me. This is a bugbear of mine: Check beer availability and quality BEFORE opening! 😠
Carry on 🍻

Back in the kitchen. Following a tip on looking for Sea Bass fillets in the reduced section of Tescos, I picked up 3 packs on Monday at £3.75 each. So here we are, first pack & they've been marinated in dark soy and 5 spice, served with stir fry and noodles 😊😋

The craft beer boom is over. These new breweries find hope in staying small. A new crop of craft brewery owners believe that quality beer is a must, but it’s everything else — hospitality, food, trivia nights — that will decide their fate.

Roughly 200 breweries are expected to open across the US this year. Who opens a brewery in 2026?
